acantilado

/akantiˈlado/ · B2 · adj

steep, sheer

🏔️ a-can-tea-lado = a can of tea tossed off the edge, down the sheer drop

Split it as a-CAN-tea-LAH-do. Link the sound 'can tea' to a can of tea that falls straight down a sheer rock face. Nothing stops it, just like the vertical wall of an acantilado, a cliff.
